Imo house prices will drop over the next year or two...decreasing rents showing no signs on stopping (yes a general view)...Jamie might correct me, but that has to lower investor activity/demand.
Hope im wrong...time will tell
No - I agree.
I don't have any stats but it feels like (from my perspective anyway) that investor buying has dropped off a bit. Most of my local clients are a combination of first home buyers (lots who are settling on OTP purchases) and those upgrading.
Cheers
